Arguably, other international law scholars such as Tom Ginsburg, Kal Raustiala, Eric Posner, and Jack Goldsmith might fit this description as well, but I would characterize these scholars’ work as more eclectic from an interdisciplinary perspective. In other words, while these scholars routinely invoke Insights from law and economics, they tend to use them in conjunction forged largely in the international relations literature.
